This article describes the historical development and selected trends in the production of sugarcane and sugar in the Cape Verde Islands, focusing on key stages from the colonial era to the present and analysing significant changes in the agricultural sector. It discusses transformations driven by colonial practices, land-use patterns, and the impact of political and economic challenges that have shaped sugar production in Cape Verde. In a modern context, it examines factors such as geographical and climatic limitations, the decline of local production, and the reliance on sugar imports, emphasising the importance of regulating sugar consumption and adapting to evolving environmental and economic conditions.
